// this class is used instead of either "char **" or "wchar_t **" (neither of
// which would be backwards compatible with all the existing code) for argv
// field of wxApp
//
// as it's used for compatibility, it tries to look as much as traditional
// (char **) argv as possible, in particular it provides implicit conversions
// to "char **" and also array-like operator[]
